A Valuable Wedding Present.
Among the Princess Letitia’s numerous wedding gifts is one wbioh, apart from its considerable intrinsic value, has a singular although sad interest for all the family. It is a fan, the handle of which is encrusted with precious atones (among them an amethyst said to be unique), containing in the centre a water-colour painting by the late Prince Imperial of the house where his mother lived as a girl. It was a birthday gift from the young Prince to ‘his dear mothet on her fiftieth birthday,’ and the Empress EugeDie‘now offers it as one of the most precious of her possessions, as a wedding gift to the Princess Letitia.
